A delay system built into the safe made it so the safe couldn’t be opened immediately, and could be the reason the suspects were still in the store when deputies arrived.

According to the SDSO, the suspects tried to make their escape out of the store’s back door, but deputies who had already set a perimeter were there. They ran back inside and tried to leave out of the front door, but deputies had positioned themselves there, too.

The suspects were taken into custody with no injury and the phones, cash and a firearm were recovered.
